The station's inshore lifeboat (ILB) was launched, and the crew arrived on the scene in good time.


The volunteer lifeboat crew established a tow and took the vessel to Fahan Marina before returning to Ned's Point to refuel and prepare for their next service.


Remember: If you're in difficulty on or near the water—or if you see someone in trouble—dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.
